Maintenance and Care
Window Washer Fluid
Inspect fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir; add fluid if neces-
sary.
Use plain water if washer fluid is unavailable.
But use only washer fluid in cold weather to prevent it from freezing.
State or local regulations may restrict the use of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), which are commonly used as anti-freeze agents in washer fluid. A
washer fluid with limited VOC content should be used only if it provides ade-
quate freeze resistance for all regions and climates in which the vehicle will
be operated.

windshield, it will dirty the windshield, affect your visibility, and could result
in an accident.
■ Using Washer Fluid Without Anti-f reeze Protection in Cold Weather
Operating your vehicle in temperatures below 40 °F (4 °C) using wa\
sher
fluid without anti-freeze protection is dangerous as it could cause impaired
windshield vision and result in an accident. In cold weather, always use
washer fluid with ant i-freeze protection.
